Mavin International Auction 35 Session 1 Highlights are mostly a collection of Straits Settlements coins from the Eric Low Collection. Eric Low Eng Wan, or just Eric Low as he is better known to fellow coin collectors, focused his entire collecting interest on Straits coins for over 18 years. From the very beginning, Eric collected the better quality Straits coins that he came across and could afford, whether in coin shows or auctions or by private treaty. Over the years he was able to acquire many gems, mostly in auctions from various fine collections, including those of R J Ford, Ng Yit Boon and John Jay Pitman, just to mention a few. As Eric now feels that he has enjoyed his collection long enough, he has decided that it is time to let others have the opportunity to enjoy them as well, and Mavin is happy to auction the major part of it in two parts. All coins are graded and encapsulated by NGC or NCS in their new Edgeview® Holders.
